Description

本発明は、特に、リチウムイオン二次電池などの非水電解液二次電池における新規正極材料として注目されているオリビン型構造のリチウム鉄リン酸化合物の性能改良に関するものである。   In particular, the present invention relates to an improvement in the performance of a lithium iron phosphate compound having an olivine structure that is attracting attention as a novel positive electrode material in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery such as a lithium ion secondary battery.

上記リチウムイオン二次電池の正極材料としてLiCoO2やLiNiO2が普及しているものの、これらLiCoO2やLiNiO2は、その結晶構造が層状構造を有して不安定であって、過充電による劣化が生じ、あるいは繰り返しの充放電サイクルにより著しく充電容量が減少するなどの欠点がある。 Although LiCoO 2 and LiNiO 2 are widely used as the positive electrode material of the lithium ion secondary battery, these LiCoO 2 and LiNiO 2 are unstable because their crystal structure has a layered structure, and are deteriorated by overcharge. Or the charge capacity is significantly reduced by repeated charge / discharge cycles.

そこで、近年、特許文献1〜3に示すように、新規正極材料である結晶構造の安定なオリビン型構造のリチウム鉄リン酸化合物が新たな次世代自動車や定置用大型電池などの正極活物質としても注目されている。
このリチウム鉄リン酸化合物は、上述のように結晶構造が安定であるため、過充電による劣化や繰り返しの充放電サイクルによる充放電容量の減少を防ぐことができる。
Therefore, in recent years, as shown in Patent Documents 1 to 3, a lithium ion phosphate compound having a stable olivine structure with a crystal structure, which is a novel positive electrode material, is used as a positive electrode active material for new next-generation automobiles and large stationary batteries. Is also attracting attention.
Since this lithium iron phosphate compound has a stable crystal structure as described above, it is possible to prevent deterioration due to overcharge and reduction in charge / discharge capacity due to repeated charge / discharge cycles.

さらに、このリチウム鉄リン酸化合物は、LiCoO2やLiNiO2と比較して、CoやNiなどの昨今急激な価格の高騰が生じているレアメタルの使用量を減少させることができ、さらには、レアメタルを使用せずに安価なリチウムイオン二次電池の製作も可能になる。 Furthermore, this lithium iron phosphate compound can reduce the amount of rare metals used in recent years, such as Co and Ni, which have experienced rapid price increases, compared to LiCoO 2 and LiNiO 2. This makes it possible to manufacture an inexpensive lithium ion secondary battery without using the battery.

その一方で、リチウム鉄リン酸化合物は、粒子内でのリチウムイオンによるイオン伝導性や粒子間での電子伝導性が低いことから、次世代自動車などに用いるには所望の出力が得られないという問題がある。   On the other hand, the lithium iron phosphate compound has low ion conductivity due to lithium ions in the particles and electron conductivity between the particles, so that a desired output cannot be obtained for use in next-generation automobiles. There's a problem.

このため、一般的に、リチウム鉄リン酸化合物をナノレベルまで微粒子化して、この微粒子化したリチウム鉄リン酸化合物にカーボンや貴金属などの導電剤を添加、あるいは上記微粒子化したリチウム鉄リン酸化合物の表面に上記導電剤を被覆することにより、電子伝導性の改善を図っている。   For this reason, generally, a lithium iron phosphate compound is made fine to the nano level, and a conductive agent such as carbon or noble metal is added to the finely divided lithium iron phosphate compound, or the above-mentioned finely divided lithium iron phosphate compound The surface of the film is coated with the conductive agent to improve the electron conductivity.

しかしながら、リチウム鉄リン酸化合物は、上記微粒子化により一次粒子の凝集が起こり易くなるため、上記正極を製作する際にスラリー調製が困難となるだけでなく、バインダー使用量が増加して微粒子化したわりに電子伝導性の改善による抵抗減少の効果が得にくい。これに加えて、粒子間の空隙が少なくなるため、繰り返しの充放電サイクルにより電解液が浸透しにくくなり、抵抗上昇および活物質の利用率の低下を引き起こすという問題がある。   However, since the lithium iron phosphate compound tends to cause aggregation of primary particles due to the above-mentioned micronization, not only the slurry preparation becomes difficult when manufacturing the positive electrode, but also the amount of binder used is increased and micronized. Instead, it is difficult to obtain the effect of reducing resistance by improving the electron conductivity. In addition to this, since the voids between the particles are reduced, there is a problem that the electrolytic solution is less likely to permeate through repeated charge / discharge cycles, causing an increase in resistance and a decrease in utilization rate of the active material.

本発明は、かかる事情に鑑みてなされたもので、リチウム鉄リン酸化合物を用いて微粒子化することなく、電子伝導性やイオン伝導性などの特性に優れた正極を備えた非水電解液二次電池を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances.

以下、本発明に係るリチウムイオン二次電池について、図1を用いて説明する。
本実施形態のリチウムイオン二次電池は、図1に示すように、正極合剤層11が矩形薄板状の正極集電体10の表裏面に形成された正極1と、負極合剤層21が矩形薄板状の負極集電体20の表裏面に形成された負極2とが、それぞれ板面を対向させて互いの間にセパレータ3を介在させて交互に複数(本実施形態においては4枚ずつ)積層されている。
Hereinafter, a lithium ion secondary battery according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the lithium ion secondary battery of this embodiment includes a positive electrode 1 in which a positive electrode mixture layer 11 is formed on the front and back surfaces of a rectangular thin plate-like positive electrode current collector 10, and a negative electrode mixture layer 21. The negative electrodes 2 formed on the front and back surfaces of the rectangular thin plate-shaped negative electrode current collector 20 are alternately arranged in plural (four in the present embodiment, with the separators 3 interposed therebetween with the plate surfaces facing each other. ) Are stacked.

そして、これらの正極1と負極2とが非水電解液に浸漬されて密閉容器4に収容されており、非水電解液には、正極1および負極2に対して不活性な有機溶媒中にLiBF4 、LiPF6 などのリチウム塩を溶解したものが用いられている。 The positive electrode 1 and the negative electrode 2 are immersed in a non-aqueous electrolyte and accommodated in a sealed container 4, and the non-aqueous electrolyte contains an organic solvent inert to the positive electrode 1 and the negative electrode 2. obtained by dissolving a lithium salt such as LiBF 4, LiPF 6 is used.

また、正極1の正極合剤層11は、LiFe1-xxPO4であって、MがLi、Ni、Co、Mn、Mg、Al、Ti、Ga、Cu、V、Nb、Zr、Ce、In、Zn、MoおよびYの中から選択される一種以上の元素であり、かつ0<x≦0.99のオリビン型構造のリチウム鉄リン酸化合物からなる正極活物質を含有している。この正極活物質は、その平均粒子径が0.1μm以上100μm以下であって、その表面が炭素からなる導電剤で被覆されるとともに、この導電剤が賦活処理により多孔質化され、かつ粒子表面積が球体とみなした場合の表面積の20倍以上100倍以下となるように調製されている。 The positive electrode mixture layer 11 of the positive electrode 1 is LiFe 1-x M x PO 4 , where M is Li, Ni, Co, Mn, Mg, Al, Ti, Ga, Cu, V, Nb, Zr, It contains one or more elements selected from Ce, In, Zn, Mo and Y, and contains a positive electrode active material made of a lithium iron phosphate compound having an olivine structure of 0 <x ≦ 0.99 . This positive electrode active material has an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and its surface is coated with a conductive agent made of carbon, and the conductive agent is made porous by an activation treatment, and has a particle surface area. Is prepared so as to be 20 times or more and 100 times or less of the surface area when regarded as a sphere.

このような正極活物質は、LiFe1-xxPO4のLi源となる化合物、Fe源となる化合物、M源となる化合物およびPO4源となる化合物に炭素前駆体を混合して焼成した後に、賦活処理することにより、上記炭素前駆体が賦活処理された炭素の導電剤となって粒子表面に被覆されて得られる。
そして、この正極活物質を導電剤およびバインダーなどと混合してスラリー状にした正極合剤層11を、正極集電体10としての金属箔上に塗布し、さらに、この正極集電体10にタブ12を取り付けることにより正極1は得られる。
Such a positive electrode active material is obtained by mixing a carbon precursor with a LiFe 1-x M x PO 4 Li source compound, an Fe source compound, an M source compound, and a PO 4 source compound. Thereafter, the carbon precursor is coated on the particle surface by conducting an activation treatment so that the carbon precursor becomes a conductive agent for the activated carbon.
Then, the positive electrode mixture layer 11 in which the positive electrode active material is mixed with a conductive agent and a binder to form a slurry is applied onto a metal foil as the positive electrode current collector 10. The positive electrode 1 is obtained by attaching the tab 12.

また、負極2は、その負極合剤層21の負極活物質にリチウムイオンを吸蔵放出可能な炭素、好ましくは黒鉛が用いられており、この負極括物質にバインダーなどを加えてスラリー状にした負極合剤層21を負極集電体20としての金属箔に塗布し、さらに、この負極集電体20にタブ22を取り付けることにより得られる。   In the negative electrode 2, carbon capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions, preferably graphite, is used for the negative electrode active material of the negative electrode mixture layer 21. A negative electrode obtained by adding a binder or the like to this negative electrode bulk material to form a slurry. The mixture layer 21 is obtained by coating a metal foil as the negative electrode current collector 20 and attaching a tab 22 to the negative electrode current collector 20.

そして、上述の複数枚の正極1と負極2とを、正極1のタブ12と負極2のタブ22とが対向辺の一方側と他方側とに交互に配置されるように交互に積層して、アルミラミネートフィルムからなる袋状の外装体に挿入するとともに、この外装体内に非水電解液を注入した後に、この外装体の開口部を封止することによって密閉容器4が形成されて、正極1と負極2とが非水電解液に浸漬されて密閉容器4に収容されたリチウムイオン二次電池が組み立てられる。   Then, the plurality of positive electrodes 1 and negative electrodes 2 described above are alternately stacked such that the tabs 12 of the positive electrode 1 and the tabs 22 of the negative electrode 2 are alternately arranged on one side and the other side of the opposite side. The sealed container 4 is formed by inserting the non-aqueous electrolyte into the outer package and then sealing the opening of the outer package after being inserted into the bag-shaped outer package made of an aluminum laminate film. 1 and the negative electrode 2 are immersed in the nonaqueous electrolyte solution, and the lithium ion secondary battery accommodated in the airtight container 4 is assembled.

以上のように構成されるリチウムイオン二次電池は、その正極活物質として、LiFePO4のFeの一部を置換して、LiFe1-xxPO4のMがLi、Ni、Co、Mn、Mg、Al、Ti、Ga、Cu、V、Nb、Zr、Ce、In、Zn、MoおよびYの中から選択される一種以上の元素である0<x≦0.99のオリビン型構造のリチウム鉄リン酸化合物を用いたため、リチウム鉄リン酸化合物粒子内のイオン伝導性を著しく向上させることができる。 The lithium ion secondary battery configured as described above replaces part of Fe of LiFePO 4 as the positive electrode active material, and M of LiFe 1-x M x PO 4 is Li, Ni, Co, Mn Mg, Al, Ti, Ga, Cu, V, Nb, Zr, Ce, In, Zn, Mo, and Y are one or more elements selected from olivine type structures of 0 <x ≦ 0.99 Since the lithium iron phosphate compound is used, the ionic conductivity in the lithium iron phosphate compound particles can be remarkably improved.

また、リチウム鉄リン酸化合物の平均粒子径を0.1〜100μmとしたため、上述のリチウムイオン二次電池を作製する際の凝集の発生を抑制して、安定したスラリー調製を行うことができる。これに加えて、ラフネスファクターを20倍以上100倍以下としたため、上述の粒子内のイオン伝導性を一段と向上させることができ、微粒子化しなくとも、リチウム含有化合物の粒子内部まで電池反応を行わせることが可能となる。   Moreover, since the average particle diameter of the lithium iron phosphate compound is 0.1 to 100 μm, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of aggregation when the above-described lithium ion secondary battery is manufactured, and to perform stable slurry preparation. In addition, since the roughness factor is 20 times or more and 100 times or less, the ionic conductivity in the above-mentioned particles can be further improved, and the battery reaction can be carried out to the inside of the lithium-containing compound particles without making the particles fine. It becomes possible.

さらには、 リチウム含有化合物の粒子を導電剤で被覆することによって、粒子間の電子伝導性を確保することができ、延いては集電体などのリチウムイオン二次電池の構成部品などとの電子伝導性も確保でき、集電効率を向上させることができる。   Furthermore, by covering the particles of the lithium-containing compound with a conductive agent, the electron conductivity between the particles can be secured, and as a result, the electrons with the components of the lithium ion secondary battery such as a current collector can be secured. Conductivity can also be secured and current collection efficiency can be improved.

その際、導電剤として炭素を用いる場合には、LiFe1-xxPO4のLi源となる化合物、Fe源となる化合物、M源となる化合物およびPO4源となる化合物に炭素前駆体を混合して焼成することにより、上記炭素前駆体を炭素導電剤としてリチウム含有化合物の粒子表面に被覆でき、よって、正極活物質の材料化合物に混合することによって、簡易な被覆が可能となる。 In this case, when carbon is used as the conductive agent, a carbon precursor is added to the LiFe 1-x M x PO 4 Li source compound, the Fe source compound, the M source compound, and the PO 4 source compound. By mixing and firing, the carbon precursor can be coated on the particle surface of the lithium-containing compound as a carbon conductive agent, and therefore, simple coating is possible by mixing with the material compound of the positive electrode active material.

さらに、上記焼成後に賦活処理することにより、上記炭素前駆体を賦活処理された炭素導電剤としてリチウム含有化合物の粒子表面に被覆できる。すると、導電剤が賦活処理により多孔質化されているため、電子伝導性を確保しつつも、導電剤の被覆によるラフネスファクターの減少によりイオン伝導性が低下することを防止でき、さらなるリチウムイオン二次電池の高出力化を図ることができる。   Furthermore, by performing the activation treatment after the firing, the carbon precursor can be coated on the particle surface of the lithium-containing compound as a carbon conductive agent subjected to the activation treatment. Then, since the conductive agent is made porous by the activation treatment, it is possible to prevent the ionic conductivity from being lowered due to the decrease in the roughness factor due to the coating of the conductive agent while ensuring the electronic conductivity. The output of the secondary battery can be increased.
